I don’t think they were lying to me.Blacks want reparations. They've been promised a big check for decades, and they want their ship to finally come in
Maybe some. I don’t think it’s constantly weighing on m
I would imagine respect would help a lot
Can you define what that would look like?
Pretty much the opposite of most comments on USMB in reference to minorities.
So you can't define it. This is the issue, rightwinger makes a good point however he can't define respect. The majority of all Americans is not racist and respect people of color. So, there is respect, however rightwinger must have a different meaning of respect.
What I have been told by blacks I know and work with (Generally upper middle class) is it comes down to basic Respect in day to day dealings with authority figures.
I have rarely been pulled over by police and when I have been, they treated me very respectfully and quickly sent me on my way. Blacks talk about frequently being pulled over so cops can ”check them out “ and the cops seem intimidating and often demeaning.
They talk about their children being followed or disrespected in public spaces and stores.......” to keep an eye on them”. Never noticed that with my children
Theres a difference between dignity and respect. Most people black or otherwise are treated with dignity. You need to stop listening to liars
I have rarely been pulled over in over 45 years of driving. When I was, I generally deserved it and generally got off with a warning.
I worked with many highly educated blacks who made good money and obeyed the law. They talked about frequently being pulled over for petty reasons, just so the cop could look for something bigger to charge them with.
i believe they’re just playing the victim. If you put the anecdotal hearsay aside and just focused on the statistical facts you’d be better off
